The main goal of this work is to investigate the coobital satellite existence of the galilean satellites. We used the integration package of N-body problems in celestial mechanics, Mercury (Chambers, 1999). The Mecury package has been adapted to simulations of satellite systems of Jupiter. The input data of the Galilean satellites (position and velocity), were given in Cartesian coordinates according Avdyushev (2004). Simulations were made over a period of 100,000 years, where particles were placed around each Galilean satellite. Coorbitals particles were simulated around each satellite neglecting the disturbance among the galilean satellites. The obtained results were consistent with the expected results in resonances, with increasing in eccentricity and stability in semi-major axis. We were also simulated the orbits of particles coorbitals around each satellite, in this case without mutual disturbance between them and the particles, obtaining results of tadpole and horseshoe orbits in the Jupiterian system.
